The Cross Is All

We pursue God because we are pursued by Him. We aren’t thrown to the wind by Him to see if we can find out way Home alone. He pursues us. He draws us. Even as we seek Him, He is the One in control. Jesus says that no one comes to Him unless the Father draws him. Each step of the way, each time I...

“There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends and honors but it touches them too closely to disown themselves.”~~Meister Eckhart Are you following God’s faintest whisper? Can He trust you to obey no matter how much He asks of you...

HOLINESS is defined in the dictionary as being cut off, separate or set apart. Holiness is God’s standard for His people although few professing Christians aspire to live holy lives. It is God’s chief desire to create holiness or likeness of His Son in us. I John 2: 6 “Whoever claims to live in...

For most of its history, the church stood steadfast in its denouements of entertainment. That is true no longer. For the last several decades, not only has the church weakened its stance on entertainment in general but has invited it to come on in and join us. There is nothing wrong with...
Too many churches in America have abandoned the Bible as the only measure of truth. We have prostituted ourselves by welcoming the world and its ways into our daily lives and into our churches. Where holiness was once emphasized, now fun and freedom is. Christians once lived lives separated from...
Where are the Christians who love God’s Word with holy reverence? Who fear the Lord with holy fear? Who stand in awe before Him? Where are those who are heartbroken over God having been blasphemed and His holy Word twisted and denied–by His own church? Where are those who are willing to take up...
Where are the people of God today? Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness? Who long for God more than they do for food and water? Who simply must have God–or they die? Where are the people who will cry out to God to make them holy–at any cost? Those for whom spending hours before the...
Maybe we don’t know the true Truth of God’s Word because our parents didn’t know. Maybe they didn’t know because it’s been a long time since God-fearing men filled most of the pulpits of our land. I love true men of God and those who are giving their lives to God in obedience and who boldly...
We are drawn to the sweet baby Jesus lying in the manger and find it easy to get excited about Him. We hear a lot about the smiling Savior Who longs to give us a good life. We put the two together and we come up with something easy and comfortable: a smiling gentle Savior Who lives to please us...
We have been blinded by popular culture and have lost sight of Who God is. A friend of mine asked me recently to think about something: if the church in America today could be picked up and transferred back in time, would she even recognize Jesus and, if she could, would she be ashamed of Him...
The church has lost track of what Jesus came to earth for and just how far He went to secure it. He gave up heaven, intimate fellowship with His Father, He suffered and died in order to restore us to Himself: to make us holy. He didn’t come to give us good lives, easy lives or make us happy. For...
When all is said and done, nothing else can matter to us because nothing else does matter. Jesus walked on earth as a Man and died for me. He bought the church with His blood. We must live for Him: not just saying, but doing…not just doing but not being able to do anything else. It is said that...
